What is the purpose of a crash cushion truck?
1 Answers
The purpose of a crash cushion truck: It is parked behind construction zones. If a vehicle fails to notice the construction area and collides from behind, the truck's cushion pad can absorb the impact energy, ensuring the safety of workers ahead. Crash cushion trucks are primarily used in highway construction, tunnel construction, and road construction projects to reduce safety risks for construction vehicles, maintenance personnel, and traffic police handling accidents. The crash cushion energy-absorbing module mainly consists of an onboard cushion pad and a guide sign frame, serving as a buffer guard behind construction vehicles. In the event of a rear-end collision, it creates a buffer zone between the colliding vehicle and the construction area ahead, absorbing impact energy through structural deformation of the equipment, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of collisions with protected personnel and equipment.
